The first parade by Kilmer troops for civilians was for the New Brunswick United War Chest on October 12, 1942. The first parade was the first of many community events in which Camp Kilmer men participated. Camp Kilmer always met its quota for fund raising drives, even going over the top for their part in this year's Community Chest, though there were fewer men to give.

Who is responsible in the following case? A downtown resident owns a dog and keeps it in the house.

As a further precaution against the dog catcher the woman keeps her gate securely locked. The other day a local fireman, on a routine inspection trip, vis groups, and the President himself plainly believes that self-interest is the mainspring of politics, for that is what he always appeals to. Farmers are to have high prices, workers high wages, business fair profits, old people comfortable pensions, everybody free medical care, small business an equal break with big business, and everybody "equal rights, and equal opportunities free from fear and discrimination." One is tempted to end this prophesy of heaven on earth with the Biblical words 'and a little child shall lead them." There's Duty Too In the President's vocabulary difference between what our houses ought to cost, and what they do cost, and then gives back to some what it takes from ail. Promising everybody something for nothing is precisely what Mr. Truman is up to In the name of "unselfishness." Socialism at least has the merit of demonstrating that after the glorious honeymoon of soaking the "small selfish groups," brief because the loot is so small, people have to face the facts of life.

After the Trumans come the Stafford Crippses preaching hard work and austerity; and after the Lcnlns, offering loot to the masses, come the Stalins, establishing "corrective labor camps" for the "anti-social." A hard way to learn.

First, 1949 has been pretty generally an excellent year profit-wise for American business and industry. And second, sound stocks on the various exchanges still appear to be reasonably priced. The General Motors dividend announced this week brings total payments on the common stock to $8 per share this year as compared with $4.50 last year.

The $8 payment for the year is the largest since 1929, but it is well supported by earnings of $11.21 per share for the first three quarters of the year. General Motors is currently selling around 69 on the New York Stock Exchange. Its low for the year was 51 and a fraction. Anyone who bought at the low is getting an annual return of approximately 15 per cent on his investment. Even at today's price, the return is generous.

Plenty of other sound common stocks on the Stock Exchange and the Curb Exchange are selling at prices to yield investors returns of six to 10 per cent on their money. This price-dividend relationship is in decided contrast to the situation in 1929 when prices were so high that dividend returns of one and two percent were commonplace. The outpouring of year-end dividends which is taking place should emphasize the sound investment practice of buying good common stocks and it should, too, raise the people's confidence in the nation's economic strength. FLUTTERINGS HOLLYWOOD. There's always a feud somewhere in Hollywood.

Now it is Howard Hughes and Harold Lloyd. Harold starred for Hughes three years ago in "Mad Wednesday." After one showing in Florida, Hughes brought the film back to Hollywood for recutting.

Memorials have taken the form of civic centers, swimming pools, recreation grounds. This is the way it should be.

Naturally, we aren't likely to be successful if we try to insist on naps. That's "baby stuff" to them. Unfortunately, though, we parents often take a rather moralistic attitude toward some of the ways young people get their rest during these years.

Yet this is one way on Saturdays at least when extra rest can be secured. Loafing around another habit that bothers some of us is also a legitimate way through which young people get some of the rest and relaxation they need.
